Best bed and breakfast in Mount Dora, Florida!

This was hands-down the best bed and breakfast I've ever stayed at. The family that runs it was attentive to my dietary needs, they were friendly, they provided water for us every day to take with us on our outings and literally everything we needed right down to extra towels and blankets were provided promptly. The location was very serene and relaxing and I felt like I was at home. I will definitely stay here when I return to Mount Dora, FL.

Finally our anniversary trip.

We had a wonderful stay. Marge and Melissa were very nice. The B&B is close to the downtown and they have a convenient walking path right next door to travel by foot in and out. Marge was very gracious to keep adjusting our dates of stay due to the hurricanes. I loved the Victorian feel of the home.

Great Bread & Breakfast. Beautiful grounds and Inn with Victorian furnishings. The rooms were well-appointed, and I especially liked the Tiffany lamps. Family-owned who were very friendly and helpful and considerate. Historic Mount Dora was a short walk away. I plan a return trip.
